Police are looking for two men who robbed a Michaels craft store at gunpoint Monday while wearing scarves or masks.

The robbers went into the store on Fletcher Parkway near Chatham Street around 3:12 p.m. and began waving handguns and ordering employees and customers to get on the floor, said police Lt. Dave Bond. They took money and jewelry from several customers and an undisclosed amount of money from several cash registers before driving away in a white sedan, Bond said. No one was injured.

Witnesses described one robber as black, heavy set, 30 to 40 years old, 5 feet 11 inches tall, and wearing a beanie, a scarf or a mask covering his face. He also was wearing a hooded jacket. The other robber was white, 5 feet 8 inches tall and wore a black sweat shirt and either a mask or scarf over his face, Bond said.
